She went on to say: "I was excited because he had a real take on what he wanted to do, and you know, I have to say, my husband is a pretty great storyteller himself, and I'm excited to watch him do it."

Garner and Affleck famously starred together in critically-panned Marvel movie Daredevil in 2003.

The Superman vs Batman movie is scheduled for release on July 17, 2015.
